Cr75. Well, what a lovely ’75 this is. Previously it has been observed that Noval and Croft are the good seventy-fives†, and it happened again. Lovely mature red, 50% opaque. Palate soft, with a hint of heat, and the same burnt sense detected in the ’63. Good length, and lovely sweetness.

† Yes, we know that 1875 was widely declared. Unless you’re going to provide bottles for an 1875 horizontal, hush.
